Chapter 21: Spring
This Spring Festival, everyone is having a good time, which is traceable; If the telephone office has a recording, you can get the following information:
"Yudong, Happy New Year, no problem! …… That's good. Chen Qian is with you...... That's good. ”
"Zhaoyun...... I'm back in B-Beijing...... Okay! ”
"Xu Peng, it's Li Lin! With you, Xu Peng will be fine. Happy Chinese New Year! ”
……
According to a well-wisher, a dozen phone calls took less than 20 minutes in total, including the waiting time, which was not as long as his mother had spoken on the phone. Afterwards, when the good deeds were talked about, even the old man on the side laughed, but the person concerned looked innocent.
After the Spring Festival, Li Mengze went south to work alone, and his father went to the hospital, and he felt unaccustomed to staying at his home. Everyone else went to work, Zhang Xiaoqing and Chen Haili are new jobs, but the latter is more difficult to find a job, but fortunately, China's economy is still developing rapidly, the employment situation is okay, and they don't have more stringent requirements, just more decent requirements.
Li Mengze continued to go to Wansheng Company as his deputy general manager, and he is now somewhat comfortable with this job, and he seems to like this job more and more. Although he often takes leave as the vice president of the company, after all, he has grown a lot better than last year, and he works almost every week, at least 4 days a week, which is already rare, who made him a vice president? A vice president like him, with a high position and light power, can't manage anything when he leaves the personnel department, which makes him quite idle. During this time, the company recruited some more employees, and as one of the main decision-makers for the interview, he easily fulfilled the promise he made to the Han Gang and introduced three potential young men to the white road, which made someone who was both black and white more reassured.
Chen Xiaochong didn't embarrass him in the slightest, as if he didn't care about his daughter at all, and as if he decided that his daughter had nothing to do with him; However, someone didn't take it lightly, "If you don't ask, I won't say", everyone has their own pleasure, but someone resolutely does not get along alone with Chen Xiaochong's uncle and nephew. Of course, out of prudence, Li Mengze told Yang Hua about Chen Haili's recent situation, but it was only a contact number. In fact, his life in G is still the same, and he gets together with his old classmates from Haisheng Company from time to time, after all, he is also a little lonely.
As part of the new year's research plan, Li Mengze went non-stop to the people he had visited before the Spring Festival, and sent a large number of selected gifts, and said something like "I didn't bring a gift last time, I'm worried that you will smash the gift together, wouldn't it be a waste", and said that he was more frugal, "These are what you can use", and so on, which makes people cry and laugh, angry and like. However, everyone accepted this straightforward son-in-law in their hearts, and some people even felt sorry for him spending too much money, but they were stopped by a call from Bjing's daughter, "You just let him do it, don't worry about him." This is often the case, as soon as he stepped into the door with his front foot, a call came from B-Jing's side, and the cooperation was very good, which also made the old people like it.
On the one hand, Xixing Company acquired the two unfinished buildings in Shijiazhuang and B-Beijing, and on the other hand, it made every effort to organize the construction and prepare for the investment work, and the whole company's machine was started. The first to start construction was an unfinished building called Xixing Building, which was urgently transferred to them by its original owner for 300 million yuan in blood vomiting and loss of principal, and at the same time construction was started on a small building near it, which was requisitioned according to the agreement to be used as a parking lot and other auxiliary facilities. The 18-storey building was not originally the "best" unfinished building, but several people, including experts, agreed that it would be chosen as the company building. Later in the day, there were 4 unfinished buildings to start construction, and all of a sudden, various newspapers reported one after another, praising the city of Tjin finally getting rid of the wonder of many years of unfinished buildings, and highly praising the contribution made by Xixing Company to the city of Tjin. Festive is festive, which is busy with the leadership of Xixing Company, and the main leaders attended the "hat removal ceremony" of the unfinished building, which made them turn their backs and scold. However, someone who doesn't know each other is living his office life comfortably, working from 8 to 5, and only taking time off on Friday.
After a short break during the Spring Festival, Haisheng Company re-wound its clockwork, drove at full speed, and rushed forward. Several core personnel of the company unanimously decided to create an industry miracle, to develop at a high annual growth rate of 200%, the company introduced advanced management system, hired industry masters for training, a pair of hard work, who else the posture. Some people's lives are born to work hard, and they show their extraordinary strength in busyness, Chen Haisheng is like this, and he takes care of the company in an orderly manner, which makes someone have to admire, just by virtue of this, he admits that he is far inferior to the other party. Li Mengze is self-aware, he doesn't know how to manage, rarely arranges work, likes everyone to do their own thing, no one gets in the way, such as the personnel department, his supervisor is a emperor-like figure, without him, it still works, of course, it's not bad to have him; Because he is more easy-going, the requirements are not harsh, as long as it is not too important, let the subordinates make their own decisions, sign their own consent, and even everyone can often be late for work, as long as it does not affect the work!
The employees of the personnel department of Wansheng Company, some like this emperor, and some don't like it. Because in the eyes of some people, this person is an extra ornament here, an extra person staring at him, afraid of his cold gaze, and according to rumors, this person is very lustful, and he is not cowardly, and he actually abducted and hid the general manager's daughter. In the eyes of others, this person doesn't care about things, but he is a good shield, at least he is there, and the people in the general manager's office are embarrassed to find faults. This is how Li Mengze hangs around in Wansheng Company, the nominal vice president, the company's second largest shareholder, giving him a lot of authority, as long as he wants, he has the right to access any confidential information of the company and know any latest assessment of the company. Of course, he was only interested in certain things, and from time to time he asked some questions to the people involved, and then left the other party in surprise.
Li Mengze is becoming more and more dissatisfied with the department he is directly responsible for, he has hinted to some people more than once, but he has not been respected by the other party, which makes him, a person with a playful mentality, very angry. Finally, one day, he wrote three words "disagree" on a document in standard block letters, and then sent his secretary to return it to the other party. This was the first time in the personnel department, especially since he was in charge, and for a while the entire office staff of the personnel department was stunned, guessing what made this "no matter what the manager" used his management power. And that document was revised twice, but it still didn't pass, which made the organizers, including the minister, feel "furious" and really want to go directly to the general manager.
"I don't agree with this person, whether it is personal information or worker evaluation, it shows that he is not suitable for this position, there is a person who is more suitable for this position, you should study it carefully and then report." Only then did everyone realize that this guy wasn't hanging out in the company some time ago.
Since then, the personnel department has also become cautious, although there are still people who have passed the test in the dark, but more and more personnel promotions have begun to be disapproved, and more and more personnel in the personnel department have been adjusted, transferred from other departments, or transferred to other departments. Through this reshuffle, Li Mengze arranged 2 of the 3 new people brought in to the personnel department and the other into the finance department, and Li Lan has become a supervisor-level figure after continuous promotion. All the personnel of the personnel department are used by him, he doesn't care who the other party is, loyal to him or used by which big man, as long as he has the ability, loyalty to the company, obey the command, and do things fairly, let him occupy important positions, set aside some people who do not obey the command, and transfer some people who are superficial. In this way, 5 left, 4 came in, 4 were promoted, 6 were transferred, and the entire personnel department was cleaned by him, and no one dared to despise him anymore. And all the job changes, including the entry and exit of personnel, and promotions, were carried out peacefully, and there was hardly any pressure from the top, as if they had compromised with him, which made some well-informed people feel that he was unusual.
Ye Guowen first expressed his support for his work, of course, this was expressed in private, because according to his position, he does not have this power, and it is Ye Mingwen and Chen Xiaochong who have power, and even Liu Fangsi is a little out of reach. Ye Mingwen didn't care about these things, Chen Xiaochong said, "One person, one opinion, as long as it is beneficial to the company, move when it should be moved", and Liu Fangsi said, "It is long overdue to move this personnel department", which made Li Mengze feel foggy, unreal, and even imagined, if he replaced several post leaders, what would they think? Of course, he didn't do that, and he knew that if he did, Li Lan and their work would definitely not be able to continue. In short, everyone recognized his rights, accepted his partial adjustment to the personnel department, and supported his work to a limited extent, this is the power game!
Just after the Spring Festival, the stock market reopened, Li Mengze sold another 1 billion yuan, acquired some shares of the Jianghuai Group Company, from the annual report, the profitability of the group company is still good, although last year's artificial speculation made him another sad place for everyone, but there is still a future for development. Another reason is that after a storm, the company's stock only rose to 3.87 yuan, which is still a relatively low price, and there should be a lot of room for appreciation, according to his judgment, it can rise to 10 yuan. Coupled with the part he acquired before the Spring Festival, he already has 440 million shares, this investment, he divided it into two parts, first a large investment, and then a small follow-up, sure enough, the stock market quickly reacted to his acquisition, that afternoon, it rose to 4.3 yuan, and then someone bought it one after another, although the amount is not large, but the next day opened, the effect was revealed, the limit, up 20%, It reached 5.0, which was already the price of four months ago, and it was from this price that JAC's share price climbed all the way, and finally soared and even plummeted. On the third trading day, the stock rose 5% in the morning, but stopped rising in the afternoon and there were small sales; Losing patience, the most important thing is that he is in a bad mood, he got rid of 400 million shares at 5.2 yuan per share, he fled, people flew away like frightened birds, after a drop limit, stopped falling at 4.5 yuan, and Li Mengze also got rid of it all. He is no longer interested in continuing to play, after two ups and downs, JAC Group can no longer create a miracle in the stock market, why should he be nostalgic, with a profit of nearly 800 million to enter the next target.
"The wind and drizzle blow, the dashing and beautiful people", G Zhou is always warm and pleasant, dynamic, Li Mengze, who calmed down to participate in the work, is no longer impetuous, he still lives in that hotel, and he is still single. The young heart often can't help but throb, leaving his wife at home, he often sleepless in the middle of the night, and always can't help but call home, because during this period of time, he didn't go back, the reason is that he is afraid of death!
It's ridiculous to say that he, who is extremely knowledgeable about modern transportation, has developed a fear of air traffic like the ignorant people of the world, and the reason for this fear is a recent plane crash. In the early days of China, the development of civil aviation was slow, air flights were also controlled by the military, and ordinary people did not have the money to fly, so airplanes became the exclusive means of transportation for the powerful and wealthy, and people did not know much about air crashes. With the deepening of reform and opening up, more and more travelers began to use this fast means of transportation, and air accidents also increased. And because air crashes are no longer hidden, the cruelty of air crashes is well known to the general public, so there is a fear of flying, although statistics show that the accident rate of air traffic is at the bottom of the three major means of transportation today; At this time, Li Mengze's family also stepped into this ranks. A few days ago, there was an air accident on the north-south route of China's most important shipping lane, which took place in the afternoon time slot on Wednesday. In the end, the crash was a thrilling disaster, only some people and passengers were injured, and no one died. Although they knew that their husband was not on this flight, the women at home still called him as soon as possible to verify his safety, and never let him fly back and forth "five in the morning and five in the evening", preferring to endure the pain of lovesickness rather than be frightened anymore. In their opinion, although the pain of lovesickness is bitter, it is much lighter than life and death, and said that if they want them, they can fly over, go to one or two people at a time, it should be fine, of course he refused to do it, and finally the two sides compromised, and then quieted down. So, a man who stays in the hotel all day with nothing to do, sometimes he can't help it, so he has to disturb his old classmates, and then go and see his mother and sister, etc.
Li Mengze insisted on an ascetic-style single life for more than a month, and finally couldn't help it, so he had to ask the general manager for leave. Since returning to Wansheng Company after the Spring Festival, he has never taken the initiative to meet Chen Xiaochong, let alone think about it alone, so Chen Xiaochong is also suspicious of the deputy general manager who suddenly visited in the past two months, thinking that he has something important; He was also a little expectant, wanting to wait for him to speak first, the inherent reserve, the special cold war, made him expect the other party to request.
"Mr. Chen, I want to take half a month off and go back to Beijing to see my family." Li Mengze said his request bluntly and handed over the leave letter casually.
"Yes, but ......" Chen Xiaochong replied immediately, but there was no follow-up. He originally thought that the other party had other things, but who knew that they didn't mention it at all, and the original plan didn't work all of a sudden, and he was a little caught off guard.
"Then I'll give you an account of the work and leave right away." As soon as Li Mengze heard that the other party agreed, he didn't care about any "but", he immediately put the leave letter away, and floated out of the office like the wind, even if someone said anything at this time, he couldn't hear it.
"Lao Chen, what's wrong with Meng Ze, he looked happy, and he still frowned at me. I just wanted to say hello to him, but he disappeared in a blink of an eye, what did you tell him? Chen Xiaochong was hesitating, when he saw Liu Fangsi pushing the door in, and the person who came was also stunned. He met Li Mengze on the road, just in time to say hello.
"Didn't say anything, you see, it's his leave letter." Chen Xiaochong smiled bitterly and handed over someone's leave letter.
"Good guy, I thought he had changed his sex, he had just worked normally for a month, and he had a half-month vacation, so what else was 'extended'?" Liu Fangsi was taken aback, "You agreed?" ”
"As soon as I said 'yes', he disappeared, I guess he is no longer in the company at this time!" Chen Xiaochong said with a wry smile.
"It seems that he hasn't been home for more than a month," Liu Fangsi relieved himself, "Young man......"
Chen Xiaochong's estimate was good, at this time, Li Mengze had already left Wansheng Company and went straight to the hotel. He had already arranged the work properly, everything was ready, and he had even returned the house long ago after the general manager's negligence. Since he was a regular customer, the hotel was already very familiar with him, and everything was simple and almost effortless, so he rushed to the train station without much effort, and caught the nearest express train from G to B Beijing, all of which was like a rehearsal in advance, and the time was just right.
Spring in the south comes early, comes quickly, in February of the lunar calendar, it is already full of spring, "a trip to the mountains, a trip to the water, and another journey to the mountains." A trip to the fog, a trip to the rain, and the sky and water meet. "This should be a portrayal of Jiangnan!" The south of the Yangtze River is good, and the scenery is old and familiar", but the "scenery" is more attractive than the mountains and rivers are connected, and the green mountains and green waters are endless! I don't see the river flowers, I don't see the famous laurel, but the green mountains and green waters have made someone drunk, drunk is drunk, but I can't help but think about the rough northern plains, as well as the cold wind and cold northern mountains and rivers. As soon as the train crosses the Yangtze River, especially after passing Xinyang, Henan, thousands of miles of plains, a horse and a flat river, looking far away, boundless. The East Henan Plain, the North Henan Plain, the Eastern Hebei Great Plain, and then all the way into the southern mountainous area of B-Beijing. If the south is intoxicating, then the north is open-minded and ambitious, and finally he returned to the b-capital that haunted him.
When he returned to B-Beijing, it was neither Saturday nor Sunday, and he neither informed anyone nor planned in advance, and it was completely out of whim. Since it was still early, he went to the hospital first, and then went straight to Jingwen's mother's house. The old man was not there, so he chatted with his mother-in-law, and the old man felt sorry for his daughter, loved Wu and Wu, and also felt sorry for him, the son-in-law who made them feel distressed. When he learned that he had come back from leave, the old man couldn't help but blame and feel happy again, "This kid is just nonsense."
